Jason Benetti’s humor, love for the game and ability to draw out nuggets of analysis from Steve Stone made the White Sox appointment television.
When the White Sox hired Tony La Russa , I told myself, “It can’t get worse.” After last year’s 81-win season of lethargy, I told myself, “It can’t get worse.” After last summer’s dysfunction, defined by a literal shooting in the ballpark, the hiring of Chris Getz as general manager and 101 losses, I told myself, “It can’t get worse.” Naive is the word that comes to mind. I yearn for those days. On Thursday, the Sox hit rock bottom.
Despite all of this, I imagine Benetti feels a sense of loss leaving Chicago. The franchise not only failed to build a winning team, but it also failed to fully recognize his brilliance. The Sox didn’t hold up their end of the partnership. Benetti’s love for a job, a team and a city were no match for the dysfunction bred by Reinsdorf. For 43 years, Reinsdorf has been defined by a litany of mistakes and one magical 2005 season. After his worst season, 2023, losing Benetti will hurt most.
